But then again, why do I need a Rolex when I can just look at my Android? I found the anchor on eBay. It is still sealed in the original envelope. It has never been opened. The anchor compliments my new Submariner. Too bad Rolex discontinued the anchor, as it was a nice accessory.

My life is now complete.

Allen, I agree giving the anchor with Subs and SeaDwellers was a nice touch.....

if you ever get a real small boat, you will see why...

drockadam · 12 February 2012, 11:35 AM

I'll have it!!!!

Chipmunk · 12 February 2012, 11:37 AM

What are you gonna do with it?

Dr. Robert · 12 February 2012, 11:38 AM

Makes a perfect accompaniment to a sub.

There are several options:

Store it in my watch case, never to be seen again
Buy a very small yacht
Put it under my pillow for the Rolex fairy
Sell it on eBay for $1 more than I paid

I really don't know. I just wanted it.

drockadam · 12 February 2012, 12:41 PM

Or you can send it to me? Hahahaha!

liuk3 · 12 February 2012, 01:12 PM

Can you make a keychain out of it?

Seems like a good way to use rather than just having is lying around.

Have you ever noticed how there are always several of those anchors for sale on eBay and there is never any shortage of them.When you consider that they were discontinued,I think well over a decade ago now,their constant availability seems odd to me.I`ve often thought that I would like one to go with my newer Submariner but the thought of ending up with a reproduction puts me off the idea completely.As far as I know there is no way to verify the authenticity of these anchors so I can`t buy one.

Lion · 12 February 2012, 01:34 PM

Ken, I never thought of adding it to my keychain till you mentioned it.....cool idea!!!

lol i was thinking the same thing. maybe you want to start those miniature boat hobby... you have an anchor already so why not get a boat with it and you can put your Rolex on it... use it as display or watch holder. i saw a pic here where he hang his Sub on a toy boat

azguy · 13 February 2012, 04:29 AM

It's great for photo's

dddrees · 13 February 2012, 04:34 AM

It makes a nice little trinket. But it would probably end up stored away somewhere and never used if it were mine.

Route 66 · 13 February 2012, 04:45 AM

I hope it didn't cost you too much because most of those anchors are not the genuine article that Rolex included with their watches.

Ducky · 13 February 2012, 05:36 PM

Can you make a necklace out of it? Then you'd have a fish hook in a survival situation...

PS - I was tempted to buy one recently

911SC · 19 February 2012, 08:30 AM

Which years included the anchor with the Sub's and SD's? i have a (1998-99) U-16613, i don't have one, but would like to get one if mine originally came with my watch. i think im missing the original polishing cloth as well... thanks any help will be greatly appreciated!

I bought one of those anchors from eBay when I was 15. It's too bad they no longer come with modern Rolex divers.

nim · 19 February 2012, 08:49 PM

they should bring it back, although the ratings for the dssd has to change to 3900m

freddyttt · 19 February 2012, 10:03 PM

real fake makes no difference.... i like them and own several.!

Some of the older anchors sell for big bucks.

general · 20 February 2012, 01:25 AM

what ever it takes to make you happy. At least you did not spend thousands on another watch.

Exactly, it's a simple casting to do. But then considering that most folks just want one and throw it in a drawer, does it really matter?
